Carbon Fiber Panel Sheet
Cutting Carbon fiber panel sheets
Carbon fiber sheets can be cut with standard tools, from scissors and razor knives to thinner sheets, abrasive cut-off wheels, and Dremel tools. For cutting a lot of carbon fiber veneer, we recommend using carbide tools, abrasive-type cutters, or diamond-crusted tools. Regular steel tools will cut carbon sheets, but because of the abrasive properties of all carbon steel sheets, standard tools will wear quickly with heavy cutting use. The panels can then be sanded down easily.
Carbon fiber panel production process
The production process of carbon fiber panels mainly includes prefabricated substrates, core material manufacturing, laminating layers, heating, and pressing.
01
Prefabricated substrates
The substrate of carbon fiber panels usually uses thermosetting resin substrates, such as epoxy resins, unsaturated polyesters, etc. The production process of prefabricated substrates includes: 1) mixing resins, curing agents, and fillers; 2) pouring the mixture into a mold; 3) heating and curing.
02
Making core materials
The core material is the main structural part of the carbon fiber panel, usually made of foam, wood, or other structural materials. The process of making core materials includes: 1) predicting the size and shape of the core material; 2) using cutting tools to process the core material; 3) applying a thin film on the surface of the core material to prevent the resin from penetrating the core material.
03
Laminating layer
The laminating layer refers to the layer used to laminate the substrate and the core material, and its material is usually carbon fiber prepreg. This step includes cutting, arranging, bonding, curing, and other processes.
04
Heating and pressing
Heating and pressing are the last and most important steps in making carbon fiber panels. The molding mold and the carbon fiber panel are placed in a heating furnace together and the temperature is gradually allowed to reach the required hardening temperature. After that, pressing is performed to align the fiber directions of the substrate and the veneer and press them tightly. After that, the mold is removed and the surface is polished and trimmed.
Carbon fiber panel sheets have high-performance indicators, as shown below
High strength
Since carbon fiber itself has high strength, the strength of carbon fiber panels is also very high. Its breaking strength can reach 300~500MPa or more.
01
Lightweight
Compared with other materials, carbon fiber panels have a lower density and therefore lighter weight. This also makes it widely used in aviation, aerospace, and other fields.
02
No corrosion
Carbon fiber panels will not corrode due to long-term exposure to air, water, and other environments, which is one of the important reasons for its application in the fields of ocean, water conservancy, and so on.
03
Anti-fatigue
In the case of long-term use, fatigue is a more serious problem. However, carbon fiber panels have excellent anti-fatigue properties, so they have important applications in machinery, automobiles, and other fields.
04
Small thickness
Compared with traditional metal materials, carbon fiber panels are thinner, which also makes them more widely used in fields with strict space restrictions.
05
Application areas
Aerospace
Aircraft wings, fuselage structural parts, satellite structural parts, etc. have extremely high requirements for material strength and weight. 3K carbon fiber sheets can meet these requirements, helping to improve aircraft performance and reduce fuel consumption.
Automotive industry
This can be used for the car body, hood, chassis, and other parts, which can reduce the weight of the car, improve fuel efficiency and driving performance, and enhance the safety of the car.
Sports equipment
Such as bicycles, golf clubs, tennis rackets, skis, etc. The high strength and light weight of 3K carbon fiber panel sheet can improve the performance of sports equipment and make it more convenient for athletes to use.
Medical devices
Used to manufacture medical bed boards, wheelchairs, prostheses, and other medical devices. Its good biocompatibility and mechanical properties can provide patients with better treatment and rehabilitation effects.
Electronic equipment
Because 3K carbon fiber boards have good electromagnetic shielding properties, they can be used to manufacture electronic equipment housings, radiators, and other components to protect electronic equipment from electromagnetic interference.
Construction field
Can be used for the reinforcement and repair of building structures such as bridges and houses, which can improve the bearing capacity and durability of the structure.
